Description
On a subway ride home from the pool with his abuela, Julín is captivated by three dazzling women whose mermaid-like finery transforms the ordinary into something magical. Inspired by what he’s seen, he begins to imagine himself in the same kind of splendor—crafting a costume from everyday objects and letting his creativity and joy take center stage. As Julín’s playful daydreams grow into a bold expression of identity, the story celebrates self-discovery, family love, and the power of imagination to turn wonder into confidence. With warm, lyrical storytelling and vivid, child-friendly detail, this book invites readers to embrace their own unique “magic” and find beauty in becoming.
